That is a pretty weak list. I'd agree with Rangel, Murtha, Ensign and Dodd and maybe Burris/Jackson. Something went down with the selection of Obama's replace and we known that Blago is crook, but I'm not sure what really happened. Though Dodd over Ensign as most corrupt? Dodd is way too cozy with Countrywide, no doubt. Ensign got a job for the husband of his mistress (who also works for him) to try and silence everyone about the affair (as a start for his misdeeds). And Geithner for the 34K in tax? Meh. I don't think he should have been appointed but that makes him worthy of the top 10 in corruption? Please, that is chump change in DC. Personally, I would have put Murtha at the top but I have a particular issue with people who combine kickbacks with defense deals. Not only does it screw over our country, it screws over the men and women in the military at a time they are deployed in hostile territory.
Still, when I look over the list and see people being put on the top 10 for lax regulatory oversight and missing tax payments, I have to say that, wow, we've come a long ways since the day of Duke Cunningham, Tom Delay and anyone involved with Halliburton or Jack Abramoff. If this really is the top 10 most corrupt in DC, then DC has really been cleaned up in the last 2 years.
